Lisa Hochstein Accused Of Stalling Divorce By Estranged Husband

Lenny, who filed for divorce in 2022, says that Lisa’s refusal to agree on crucial terms kept him from finalizing the split. Now, with her lawyer stepping back and hitting her with a lien, Lisa’s legal struggles are mounting.

The divorce battle has been messy from the start, with Lisa Hochstein previously pushing for court orders to secure alimony and child support.

In their long-running divorce saga, Lisa and her estranged husband have reportedly reached a tentative agreement on most issues.

However, the proceedings have hit a roadblock as Lenny claims that Lisa is refusing to agree to a non-disparagement and confidentiality clause in their parenting plan.

The Miami plastic surgeon’s recent court filing reveals that while the couple has worked out most details of custody, Lisa’s reluctance to sign off on a clause that would keep their personal matters out of the public eye is delaying a final settlement.

His attorney argues that confidentiality and avoiding negative remarks, especially around their children, is essential to protect their well-being, adding that it “is ALWAYS in the best interest of the children.”

Despite this assertion, In Touch reports that Lisa has yet to accept the terms, leaving Lenny frustrated by the ongoing stalemate.

Lisa’s divorce from her former beau has taken another twist, with one of her attorneys, John Lambros, stepping down from the case. Lambros claims that Lisa has other legal representation capable of handling the divorce without him. 

However, his firm filed a lien against Lisa, claiming she owes $26,573 in unpaid fees. Meanwhile, Lenny accuses Lisa of breaching their settlement by taking items not granted to her, adding fuel to an already heated split.

According to earlier reports from US Weekly, the embittered ex alleged that Lisa removed a $35,000 Fendi table, nearly all the plants from their Florida home, and 90 percent of the artwork.

The divorce feud between the reality TV star and her ex-husband has been nothing short of intense, with each side raising fresh grievances.

In her push last year for alimony and child support, Lisa argued her “Real Housewives of Miami” paycheck of $30,000 per episode fell far short of what was needed to support their children and maintain her lifestyle. 

The 42-year-old described her work on the show as “part-time,” contrasting it with Lenny’s lucrative career as a plastic surgeon, which reportedly brings in millions annually.

Lisa emphasized that she was primarily a stay-at-home mom during their marriage, relying heavily on Lenny’s income.

In her divorce fight with the father of her children, Lisa sought to keep the couple’s lavish marital home despite a prenuptial agreement requiring her to vacate. 

Court filings reveal that the mother-of-two formally requested “exclusive use and occupancy” for herself and their children.

The documents obtained emphasized that “[Lenny] has the means to and has already established an alternate, luxurious residence,” making her request reasonable. 

Additionally, Lisa asked the court to mandate her ex’s continued coverage of medical, dental, and other necessary insurance for both her and their children. 

In a small but crucial win, Lisa scored temporary financial relief in her divorce battle with Lenny. Following weeks of contentious proceedings, a Miami judge ordered the renowned plastic surgeon to pay Lisa $8,000 a month in support, beginning May 1, 2023.

At the time, The Blast reported this payment was temporary, meaning Lenny could be required to pay even more—or potentially less—as the case developed. 

Alongside the financial order, Lenny was instructed to “maintain the status quo” for Lisa and their children, ensuring they continue living the lifestyle established during their marriage.

Between attorney shake-ups and disputes over luxury items, Lisa Hochstein’s divorce drama is far from over, with each development adding to the high-stakes battle.
